This research project course is for students to complete original research in a specialist branch of engineering with guidance from a member of academic staff. Such projects must be complex, open-ended problems that allow room for student creativity, and the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of results. There must be multiple possible solutions or conclusions at the outset and sufficient complexity to require a degree of project planning from the student. The research project is typically undertaken in the second year of the postgraduate degree.

This course is not a stand-alone unit and the research will need to complete the project started in the pre-requisite course GSOE9001.
